The chicken poo pellets seem to work for me as well... I put them in some beds and no more cat poo - YEAH  ;D

Tried all sorts of other smelly cat repellants - which seem to work for a few days - but them he is back again  >:(

Chicken is the way forward.... good for the garden as well  ;)

White pepper (thats what the expensive reppellant 'dust' is made of) or coleus canina (scaredy cat plant, exclusive to t&m), have both worked very well for me.

Ultrasonics worked for us until it was stolen  >:(
Thanks for the chicken poo trick - we'll try that.  We've tried the gel and also the prickly plant but they didn't work - the gel for a bit but then it washed away... The latest failure has been some plastic sticks impregnated with the same active as the gel.  They were supposed to protect a as square meter for 10 weeks but three weeks in there's a pile of poo not 30cms from the stick.

I've planted some cat repellent rods (£4.95 for 4 from www.ferndale-lodge.co.uk ) on Monday evening and so far (touch wood) no poo!

Just a thought ;D Why is it OK for horses to do do do's in the street and why aren't their owners made responsible to clear it up after them ???

i reckon it's because horses are vegetarians and as such their poo does not pose a health risk.

pleased to report 'my' cat is ever so well behaved :)
try having a chat - worked for me ;)

The beat repelent for cats is OLD holl leaves or pyracantha twigs. They hate scratching or stooping down om spikes.
